Don't buy this product
Reviewer: Elaine HAralson from Texas   2009-07-13

I had my in-laws purchase this for me for Christmas. I was going to Germany in the summer, & I wanted a nice flat iron. Since I received it early, I tried the iron a few times before my summer trip. It did not heat up well at all. It took forever to straighten my hair, about three times as long with my regular Solia iron. Plus, the transformer is HUGE. I was hoping that it would heat up well in Germany & serve its purpose. So, despite the heaviness of the product, I packed the iron. I decided (thankfully) to try the product out the day before I left. Well, the iron just stopped heating. I couldn't believe it. I had only used the iron 4 times. What a waste. Luckily, I was able to run to Walmart & purchase a dual voltage Conair straightner and use my adapter. It was fair, not good, but better than nothing. This product is a joke.

Not travel friendly!
Reviewer: Carmen from Austin,Tx   2009-05-29

I used this flat iron when I traveled to Europe. It did not get hot enough for me (I have thick, coarse hair)even when I used the hottest setting. Maybe it works only for thin, fine hair but not for me. The black box transformer was very heavy for the trip and not very convenient for travelling at all.

Worked fine in France & Belgium
Reviewer: Shannon Larrabee from Santa Maria, CA   2009-05-13

I purchased this for a recent trip to Belgium & France. The flat iron worked fine & seemed to get plenty hot. Yes, it comes with bigger than expected converter box which makes it kind of heavy & bulky for travel. I was going to buy a flat iron in Belgium but knew I was short on time so this was my best option. I like that it came with the attachment to use in the car, a good idea for sure.

I use it in my car!
Reviewer: Jenwantsstraighthair! from sonoma,ca   2008-11-24

its not the best as far as solia or sedu goes...it definitly doesnt get as hot, probably due to the voltage adaptions and all. but it works average...better than my wet 2 dry conair type straightner I bought at target a few years ago (yea its still working tho!). so this solia I got for traveling...which I dont do much....and my car. My hair is thin and waves out if it sprinkles or is humid. or any bad weather period. so I use this in my car for touch ups real quick....it has been great for that!

Pretty good although inconsistent
Reviewer: Lori from San Mateo, CA   2007-08-30

The iron's performance seemed inconsistent, but overall, I'm glad I bought it. I took it to 3 cities in Australia. In Sydney, the iron did not got hot enough, but if you close the iron tightly, you can get decent results. I had to turn it all the way to 450 and even then, it wasn't as hot as my sedu which heats up to only 270. However, in the other 2 cities, it worked great, it heated up quickly and was HOT. Thanks to the Solia, my hair turned out pretty good in all my vacation photos! :-)
